Fig. 5. Evaluation of the scope of the photochemical reaction.

Survey of the organic compounds and perfluoroalkyl iodides that can participate in the photocatalytic process. Conditions: Reactions are conducted in Schlenk tubes in DMF (0.25 M) on 0.1 mmol scale of 1, 0.6 mmol of perfluoroalkyl iodide 2, 0.1 mmol of K₂CO₃, and 0.27% (w/v) of am-CN, degassed by four freeze-pump-thaw cycles and irradiated for 4 to 24 hours by a blue light-emitting diode (LED) strip (450 nm).
